Is it possible to set my store where only wholesalers see prices? Everyone else can see the Standard and BTO Products, customize the products, and submit a quote --- but no prices are ever seen.

yes, just make sure the retail prices are zero.

I already have prices in for the retail, because hopefully this will be a full web store with pricing and all soon. We just want to get the website live to help work through any issues that arise before prices go on. In the meantime, wholesalers will be able to access their pricing. Is there a way to show the pricing without changing all retail/online prices to "0"?

A solution to this and several of your recent questions might simply be to edit the code. Add some temporary logic to check the retail flag, and when true, don't show the price.

Hi Nas,
Another option that avoids code, but needs more care is to export the product data - SKU, Name, retail price.
Then use the global update to set all the retail prices to zero.
When you are ready to show retail prices re-import them.
Be careful about updates to the products in the interim period.

Thanks Hamish, I was just considering this option when you posted it. I have already discovered how careful you have to be reimporting items, so I was hoping to avoid the export/import option.

We might go with the global change to set all Online Prices to "0". When we are ready to have the Online Prices seen, do another global change where we configure the Online Price from the Cost. This avoids the import/export issues that could arise.

Then consider a carefully documented code modification so you can leave your data intact and just hide it temporarily.

I personally don't know anything about the coding. I will look into this though. Thanks.
